Evil Dead: the Musical

Review

Now established as a tried and tested comedy, Evil Dead: The Musical explores all the tropes of zombie movies and cheesy horror stories, with plenty of singing and dancing thrown in. While there were a few hiccups on opening night with the set and props, the technical work of creating a haunted cabin was a delight to watch—and all of the actors are very capable singers. The dick-joke humour in Evil Dead is not intellectual or progressive by any means, but that’s not really the point: the play is very self-aware of its simplistic misogyny and has no trouble making fun of itself.
